The Kind OfEVhiskers You Should
Wear.
Cincinnati Graphic.

Two fallacies are in vogue regarding
the whisker question. One is that a
thin faced man should support side whis-
kers to widen his face;' the other that
round-faced fat man should favor long
chin whiskers to 'lengthen his face.
Both are adopted on the counter-action
and antidote principle, but are wrong
as wrong can be. A man with a sharp
chin exposed is thin and appears thin
in spite of his Burnsides. And moon
shaped man gives himself humorous
and clownish appearance BY wearing a
long, sharp tuft on his chin. The prin-
ciple of conformity should be observed
GA wholesale change made 4 s11hhi i r
man, for instance, should not wear chin
whiskers, no whiskers at all or a beard.
He no more looks we'll with side whis-
kers and peaked chin than he would
to stuff his chest and not his cheeks and
calves. To look we'll he must be uni
formly and consistently thin, or he may
modify it by complete beard. A fat
man should be smooth faced or wear
universal whiskers pretty closely crop
ped. The well-proportioned and mod
erately full-faced man may vary the style
and quantity of his whiskers with impu-
nifty so far as the thin or broad appear
ance is concerned. A very short beard
gives an animal look; if very large it
Indicates vanity or crankiness.

With crown of flashing crystals, cold and clear,
Shining upon his wintry locks of white.

On stormy seas, shall rise no more for ayep
Then January, with a childish grace
OF merry song, arose;
And with her robes that shone like frosted lace,
And sweet smiles bright as sunshine on her face,
Stood like an angel purer than the SHOWS.

Her merry greeting rang
Like music through his cottage, and once more
His face grew bright-more bright than e'er be.

Light to the mourner's eyes;
I saw the sad turn from their pain and sing;
I saw the weary battle in Hopes pure spring
That sweet Sloan that flows from Paradise.
Oh January month of joy we hear
On every side thy voice.
It fila our spirits with its life and cheer,
The future waits for all men bright and clear
Each rising sun cries to the world "Rejoice."
He treasures not our sins who rules in heaven,

Peace, kind as snow, makes fair the paths of men.

He Obeyed Orders.

Here is an anecdote, writes cores
pondent of the AAa California, which
recalls an episode occurring to one of
Secretary Endicott's predecessors of the
war portfolio, Secretary Ramsey, of
Minnesota. During the incumbency of
the latter gentleman he INDUCED in a
trip down the Potomac river one after
noon on board Admiral Porter's splen-
did steam yacht Falcon. Nearing Fort
Washington, some fifteen miles distant,
Secretary Ramsey expressed desire to
inspect the once famous fort, then, as
now, in dismantlement, and garrisoned
only by and ordnance sergeant. So the
yacht made landing at the pier, when
the United States army, in the person
of the grizzled old ordnance sergeant,
hurried down and forbade the party
from disembarking in terms more forci-
Bile than polite, favored with an I'M
mistakable Milesian accent.
Secretary Ramsey, being fond of a
joke, vainly expostulated against closing
approach to American citizens, but the
United States army was obdurate, and
said he was acting under orders of the
Secretary ofWar. After badgering him
awhile, to the intense amusement of the
company, Secretary Ramsey said:
well, Sergeant, Isee you obey orders
strictly, and as you are acting under au-
thority of the Secretary of War, only
the Secretary can revoke or modify the
order
Exactly, gentlemen, replied the old
martinez. $50 you might as well be off
and not be Fostering me any longer
Gentlemen said Secretary Ramsey,
turning to his friends, will you kindly
present me to the Sergeant
Sergeant said Admiral Porter, per
NIT me to present the Secretary of War,
your superior officer
'Holy Moses = calculated the veteran,
as he brought his hand to salute. 'And
this is the Secretary, and why didn't We
let me know before We was coming7
would have been ready to receive We for
Inspection
The pink of military propriety was in
sore distress. He had not been entire
ly polite, and felt himself derelect. He
was, however, put at his ease by the
Secretary, and the party assembled the
hill into the fort, and were shown around
the rapidly decaying quarters and other
objects of interest and curiosity. The
Sergeant, however, got his revenge upon
the Secretary. When they approached
the magazine, the Sergeant halted the
party and triumphantly said:
'Mr. Secretary, there is the magazine,
and with due respect, sir, I say you can't
60 into the magazine; that is against |
orders and regulations. There is just
one place here over which you have no
authority, sir, and can't show you the
magazine
Never mind the magazine exclaim-
ed the Secretary. you are entirely cor
rect, Sergeant. Turning to his friends,
the Secretary added very emphatically:
Hang me, if the magazine is not just |
fireplace where I don't want to go, and
prefer to give mighty wide berth.
Sure, there's no powder in it, Mr.. |
Secretary, but you can't inspect it, just |
the same was the parting shot the Ser
geant fired at the Secretary as the party |
withdrew.
